Vegas: Seattle Seahawks are Super Bowl 50 co-favorites

Thursday marks the official start of the 2015 NFL regular season when the defending Super Bowl-champion New England Patriots host the Pittsburgh Steelers from Gillette Stadium (5:30 p.m., KING/5).

While the Seattle Seahawks enter the 2015 campaign with a lot of question marks following their narrow defeat to the Patriots in Super Bowl XLIX, the wise guys in Las Vegas still view them as one of the league’s safest bets to make a third-straight Super Bowl appearance. The Seahawks are one of three favorites to win Super Bowl 50, according to VegasInsider.com, who has Seattle tied with their two final opponents of the 2014 postseason — the Green Bay Packers and the Patriots — at 15-to-2 odds.
